Japan's fukubukuro (lucky bags) are a New Year tradition, offering great deals and surprises. This year, the Häagen-Dazs lucky bag stood out, especially for ice cream lovers. Sold at the brand's Gotemba outlet store, the 2,550-yen bag included 14 mini tubs, with limited-edition flavours from 2023, like Pistachio & Cacao and Matcha Azuki. Each tub cost about half the usual price, making it an amazing deal.

Other exciting lucky bags included McDonald's, with coupons and a Big Mac lantern, and Starbucks, offering coffee, drink tickets, and stylish bottles. Muji's Fukukan featured handcrafted charms, while Family Mart's bag included socks, an Imabari towel, and a soft T-shirt. These bags make New Year shopping in Japan a treat!
